I suggest we get a closer look at this Messina character on This Week. Somebody on Obeyme's team has an extreme amount of political smarts, and I suspect Axelrod, Messina, or Plouffe. "Political smarts" in that they

1)used political correctness to leverage the race issue.

2)realized only Chicago ward style politics played out on a national scale in key swing states would re-elect Obeyme and used new and questionable fundraising techniques to finance such full time staff in those key areas.

3)Blinded the media while shlushing stimulus funds to unions and green energy friends who returned the favors and the cash in the form of campaign contributions.

4)realized the timing and importance of LoFo voting block

5)beautifully orchestrated the Limbaugh doctrine in which he appears to always be on the outside fighting Washington even though he is responsible for all he's fighting against. He deflects all responsibility and refused to govern and, by-and-large, got away with it.

Sorry to say, somebody is responsible for these generally new strategies (except for the shlush funding which is as old as politics itself).

Someone played Republicans, media, and the electorate and I want to know who that someone is. Messina is one of the suspects.

(NBCNews et al is in the tank and should be embarrassed)

Since you brought it up here what is probably going on. If you were wondering about what all the glowing comments zero made while in Israel were all about it could be the half a billion bucks just made available to the PLO. As usual FR is right on top of it.

This is actually the Vladimir Illych Lenin doctrine, aka the “commisar system,” in which the highest rung on the ladder is reserved for those who are vested with the task of politicizing EVERYTHING while lesser lights—nomenklatura, intelligentsia, apparatchik and useful iditos — are engaged to deal with the petty stuff.

This has been the gold standard for Marxist governance since 1917. Rush “discovers” it in 2013 (almost 100 hundred years later) largely because for decades he refuses to use the word COMMUNISM (he’s a wimp when it comes to this) and thus has no rudimentary education in what communism is and how it works in reality, how it got into the USA, who did it and why it will be SO HARD to get rid of.

Moran says Rove et al are scaring people. Rove counters, “Why do you need it?” (the registry). Rove does a good job standing up for 2nd amendment.

Peggy says people just don’t trust Congress.....especially these big bills because they assume there is so much jmischief hidden within it. (Peggy is right on this, except smart people don’t trust the five page bills she recommends, either.)

We don’t need new principles (commenting on Rubio’s “America still works”)

Amnesty, Wallace asks about his opposition to E-verify. He wants Border security first, vote on every year.

He’s not opposed to the data-base check, not eligible to vote not eligible for welfare. Wants govt to do it, not burden business.

On GOP getting hispanic vote by supporting amnesty, he want’s “Trust but Verify” program. Doesn’t trust any president to handle border security, wants Congress to deal with it every year

Wallace asking him about legalizing drugs. Prisons full of non-violent criminals. Doesn’t think drug abuse is a good thing.

Supreme Court on same-sex, Should SCOTUS strike down DOMA? Thinks states should have the right to decide the issue. DOMA provides protection for the states, make federal laws more neutral. Marriage should not be part of the tax code

On filibuster regarding drones, letter from Holder does president have authority to kill Americans on US soil? Drones killing people not engaged in combat. Americans corresponding with terrorists should get arrested and day in court, not blown up in a public setting.

Is there room for a presidential candidate who is to the left of Obama on some issues and on the right on other issues. (hinting at Paul candidacy)

Your plan would balance the budget in 5 years, it got 18 out of 100 votes, is it out of the mainstream?

He wants to be building bridges here in the US rather than Egypt and thinks the Senate is out of touch with the positions of the American people.

However, if we get, by the grace of God, another chance, then I pray that Sarah is our nominee. The pundits say she doesnt have a chance, but after numerous tries with a RINO let us gather around ONE conservative this time (not Newt, Rick Rand or anyone else) and see if this country will go for a conservative once and for all.

If so, we get a breather.

If not, then we can resign our hopes for this once special nation to the ash heap of Eurosocialist history. [Re-posted from last week]

Things are getting so bad that a day might come when a Eurosocialist nanny state might look like a serious upgrade over what we have. Or what our children and grandchildren have.

I would add we need to learn how the left continually defeats us at election time.And, well before.

Its all poltical gamesmanship, IMHO. These folks have to run on lies, half truths and distortions and pretending to be us. Anything else and they lose.

So demonizing us becomes a full time job for them. But, in the end its political advantage that turns the scale. Take the sequester for example.It's an issue they needed to win even though they proposed it to being with!! Zero proposed the sequester as a last resort when he failed/refused to compromise with us one more time during the very few negotiations he has ever indulged in.

To think that their side(axelrod et all) had not figured out all the ramifications of sequester and how they could use it to their advantage and formulated strategy for over a year about how to destroy Republicans using the sequester is to be ultra naive.

Its all they do.They had to have set us up relentlessly. All they need do is call in every department head they have and decide where they can cut their budget. Not where it will do the least harm but the most!! Whether it be nasa,defense, the guy in charge of small airport towers,etc.etc. Also Zero had no intention to engage in targeted budget funding which would allow the lest damage from the sequester since he wanted the most damage. Also targeted cuts require more negotiations with Congress which he never does yet gets away with due to a willing press.

So when the time is right just before the sequester takes hold zero rolls out a well orchestrated plan to destroy more Republicans using the sequester that he called for. It works marvelously and we look like those mean ol' Republicans calling for disaster/chaos for all the countries citizens all because we wouldn't agree to just a few more taxes on the evil rich.

Well played!

In other words they kicked our ass again and we let it happen.

Its all political strategy. They have it. We don't.

(FreeRepublic:Land of the Free because of the Brave--Sarah Palin our secret weapon)

I am working on getting it on my braylog.com website and should have it ready in a few days. Shoot me an email and I will get it to you. This destroys the methods we have been using which leads to losses.

Amnesty, Wallace asks about his opposition to E-verify. He wants Border security first, vote on every year.

I have a similar problem with Paul now that I had with Rubio a few weeks ago:

Both are saying they want border security first. Either they are naive or they are in on the shell game. If they are sincere, the government could made strident efforts in securing the border with EXISTING laws.

Otherwise, based on history, just having the canard in new legislation means it will be sidelined at will in the future.

They say they will not support a bill that does not have 'securing the border' as the prime requirement. We'll see -- when the bill comes out of committee. I am betting both will vote for any bill giving amnesty that comes to the floor for a vote.

Plays clip of Hillary coming out supporting LGBT, ABCD, AND EFGH’s being able to marry.

Moran (I think it was him) -People are way ahead of the elites. The Chief Justice doesn’t want to get caught on the wrong side of history....and ....”wants to let the people do what they want to be doing” (what? and lol)

Noonan - thinks SC will say let states make those decisions (about people doing what they want to be doing)

Rove - says Ginsberg may be key in leaving this up to states.

Messina -aka Dracula - 58 percent support it. Points out how the GOP is out of touch on this, and I think everything else in the universe.

Anyone who has not yet visited this thread yet in support of prayers for Mesta Machine please do so.
She is tireless warrior here on FR and has been a stellar performer on Benghazi and our Threat Assessment thread for years now.We can never pray enough for her.
She recently suffered a bad fall and is reportedly in really bad shape in the hospital.

Nobody from either side of the political spectrum seems to know what to do about it.

Civil war in Syria, Bayh mention not letting WEPMADs from Syria fall into the wrong hands (those would be the Saddam Hussein poison gas supplies that the UN “couldn’t find) Careful dummy...don’t spill the beans.

Amnesty, Wallace asks about his opposition to E-verify. He wants Border security first, vote on every year.

Rand Paul's plan is amnesty because it gives immediately those who entered illegally, committed ID theft, worked illegally, were guilty of tax evasion. etc. the right to stay and work here, the object of their crime.

E-Verfiy works and actually protects the emplpoyer. We must shut off the job magnet. Paul is uninformed about the immigration issue. And border security is only part of the problem. 40% of the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens entered this country legally and overstayed their visa.

Hes not opposed to the data-base check, not eligible to vote not eligible for welfare. Wants govt to do it, not burden business.

More silliness from Paul. We already have a data base and laws that are supposed to prevent illegal aliens from receiving federal benefits. The problem is one of enforcing existing laws. And what do you do with businesses that hire illegal aliens if you go on the assumption that all people in this country are here legally? It removes the businesses from all culpability.

On GOP getting hispanic vote by supporting amnesty, he wants Trust but Verify program. Doesnt trust any president to handle border security, wants Congress to deal with it every year
